Hello there

So it's definitely been awhile since my last post. Most of it I have been working with the exception of last week. Had 5 days off which threw me for a bit of a loop.
At any rate I have done some shopping and wanted to show off my more prominent gets. One week I spent quite a bit on neccessites which took a toll on my funds. However I do love my new sheets. I There are a few things I forgot to take pictures of like, my new lip products ( not all of them are lipsticks) and my new lenese which have yet to be worn. I had meant to try them out over the weekend but rushing and unpreparedness is probably my weekness right now. ORZ. Still have had little social time despite how much time I've had off. Kinda sucks, but this has been my reality as of late. Still have yet to do some school shopping too. Or even think of what kind of outfit I wan to wear for my first day of class. My mind have been riddled with ideas. I want to attempt to make my own mukluks from a pair of old boots. Now on to the
gets.

 

Ginger Honey and this awesome candle holder. Crystal Skull. Who's got it now Indaian Jones ( I am dork and sadly that is the only Indiana Jones  movie I have seen ._______. )

 A witch can never have too many bottles. I am gonna decorate them and then fill them with special things. I think some protection oils are in order. Seriously though it's an addiction.

New hair and face products. Hair products from left to right. Chi Keratin Mist, some argon oil and John Frieda frizz-ease. To continue on. I went to Ulta...and I need to go back for the nyx stuffs and various other items. But that's the concealer. then I have some H2O eye serum and Yes to Carrots face moisturizer. SPF 15. Good for the face. I have yet to try out my concealer but I love everything else. Then those are 3 pair of my reading glasses. I have quite a few squarish frames. Looking to get more maybe some round ones, and def more colors.

 I've not owned flats in some time. While I could stand to get a more neutral pair. I absolutely love them. They're cute. I had to get a size up from what I typically wear since my feet are a little wide >____> but they're comfy and that's all that matters right now.

  

My birthday was some time ago, and my mama got a book on dressmaking. It's very helpful and I've become less err stubborn in the process which can me one thing. 

 I get patterns when they go on sale at my Job. The first and seconds ones are current project. To be more specific on the first butterick pattern I'm doing the white top, and on the pattern in the middle I' doing the red dress ( first one on the bottom) The second butterick pattern will be what I'm doing after the first two are done. The second blue dress to be exact. And I'm making 3 of them, In different colors....for me XD. I don't really have the confidence to make clothes for anyone else outside of skirts and elastic waist pants....maybe some knit tops, fitted anyway.

 There's about 20 patterns in that drawer.....I don't think I have a problem >>....I can't wait to get my hands on some of the halloween patterns though. They dresses are so lovely. I'm thinking I may get some accessories patterns as well. I saw some cute belt bags ( I don't know if this is the right term, but some steam punk stuff is too fucking expensive so making my own would be cool and fun.

Of course the grand piece. My own Hookah. Looks like a second person could indulge with me, but for right now, it'll be me and a good day off. I got mint tobacco to go with it, though I've plenty of other herbs I could use. It's not really big either. Maybe 10 inches in height, though it's just a guesstimate right now. Looking forward to this weekend. 

I've also gotten a second cactus. I'll have pictures of them next time, but I've got like a neon pink one and a blood red one. Talk about opposite ends of the spectrum. 

That's all for the time being. Hoping one day soon to have more social time and hopefully pictures will be included ( I never have anything planned so I'm almost never ready ; A; )  I'll also be sure to post my projects when they're finished ^____^

Life Updates

I need to make more of these. <3 

So if you guys follow me on twitter or facebook, you'll know I finally got a job. It was about time that's for sure. So now I will be able to save up for things, like clothes. But I have 20% discount at my job...which means funding my sewing projects haha. It's only part time, but that's all good. It will make it easier for the time being. I want to have time to work out and actually do other things. This sounds worse than I intend. But the last job I had, not only were the hours all over the damn place. I almost never had time for anything including social activities. Social activities already have to be planned like days in advanced. Not even sure if clubbing would be in the future. -shrugs-



Anyway I have a few things I would like to get that are needed more or less.

The LG Optimus Elite. I definitely need a new phone. My old one was starting to flip out a bit. I have no luck with contract phones and if I wanted an iPhone I can actually get one from virgin mobile. But this one is nice and with the times lol. I'll just have to get a case to deco to my liking. For 35 bucks a month, which gets me 300 minutes, unlimited data and texting. I have no qualms paying a little extra for a nice phone. I'm sure some of you are wondering why I would choose such low minutes. Truth be told I don't have that kind of talking bug. I never had that habit in high school and have no reason to be talking on a phone all day. Especially when I can just text. The minutes could just be saved for emergencies. -shrugs- 

I also need to by a new tablet. This is a wacom bamboo tablet. It's a little more expensive than my first one, but this is one of the better quality ones under 100 dollar. If I were going to really splurge it would be the one that's 1200 bucks but I can see what I'm drawing on the tablet itself a not have to look at the screen. Not that I have too much trouble doing that. I'll probably get them in the order posted because I technically need the phone first. 

For anything else, it's going into savings. I will be doing line art commissions as soon as I get the new tablet so I can have extra money. Most of my money will be put into savings. And I'll just have a jar to save up for shopping spree of any kind. I haven't really looked into any type of clothing that I would like for the season though I intend on looking into some more expensive bras that will last a little longer. Saving money is probably one of the habits I've never been able to do well. It's something I do to make myself feel better instead of eating. If I could maybe channel that into exercise I might be able to do it. But also...there's always so many tempting things on the internet. Especially since I'm a crafter. But I promise to make an effort to not spend every penny I have on everything I want in that moment. If I have off next weekend I'm hoping to go back to the flea market to maybe get a hookah. And some of my favorite hair products. Yes to Carrot or Yes to cucumber. One of the best hair care products in my opinion. And I plan to splurge on the Iman bb cream at some point. It's gonna be summer time soon and full on foundation is a little too heavy and will melt I'm sure. 

Also apparently sometime soon we're supposed to be moving....not far from where we are now. It's like across  the  roadway. I'm sorta whatever about it. Heard that the rooms are bigger...which is nice. Always could use a bigger room. I would just hope that the damn ceilings/walls aren't as awkward as they are in my room.. I forget what kind of ceiling it is exactly but it puts me in the mind of a barn, the ceiling itself is flat but like half the wall is slanted and it sorta pisses me off. But a new house with more space would be nice. I could probably get some actual dressers. 

Truthfully hoping to have more to post about. Even if I only get out like once or twice a week. Better than nothing. South/Central Jersey and Philly Gals where you at? Loved to hang out.

There's Magick Afoot.

So yesterday was Easter. We didn't really do anything. My mom and brother's sat down for Walking Dead and Game of Thrones. Me... I was up here working hehe. I won't tell you all that I did. But I gave myself a tarot reading, which I have to say was pretty fucking accurate.

 So first let me show you the spaces so far. This of course is the main altar, that I do work at. I found some fabric in my stash, perfect for spring. The stick will  be made into a wand soon. I am an air sign and since I'm not bound to any specific rules I think it's one of the few altar tools I need.

 

 This is a faerie Altar. I need a few more gems. But it has some purple lights that I bought for Halloween a couple years ago. That is an egg candle, which was a semi success ^^;;

 This is a close up of a the faerie bed. It's just a nice place for them to rest should they stop by or in need a rest after working with them. It was an old case for contacts, I just painted the top and sides and dusted with blue and purple glitter.

And here's the spot for Lord Ganesha. It's right beside the faerie altar, mostly due to limited space. Just some golden yellow cloth, with a pink trim. I think it's very fitting considering how simple it is.

Now on to the good parts right? Sorta.  This is just a preview to how the altar looks lit up. I don't have just one deity with whom I work with, there are several. But I do keep chalices. The one on the left is filled with healing spring water, from South Carolina. Can I tell you how delicious that water is. It is so pure and clean. The chalice on the right has sake in it. I didn't know what the spirits and deities would like. And my Sake hadn't been open. And I think it was a good that there was a choice. Some deities do have specifics when it comes to "Adult" beverages and I will honor that when I can.

This was actually the best photo I could get of the faerie and Ganesha altars lit up. They wouldn't let me have clearer close up even though I really tried. It's all good though.

 The altar lit in color. Candle on the far left there is a seven day candle. We generally light them for protection. But they do have some specific meanings when you delve into the different colors. Mine is white with the The Virgin Mary on front.

Close up of the tarot reading that I will allow. Just a three card spread nothing fancy. Though with all the candles going I don't think it would have been great to do something too big ^^;;;  All in all, it was a great night. I had trouble getting to sleep though. I managed 3 hours. Hopefully going to bed early will help with that.

Hello New Year

I know this post is like way over due and I'm sorry about that. I really haven't had much to blog about. I will have another blog post tomorrow that's more exciting than a simple text post, but I thought an update would be nice.  I am currently in the process of applying/registering for college. I'll be taking the placement test Thursday and I have a bit of studying to do before then. I'm going for game design and development which is really right my alley. As much as I like fashion and making clothes, drawing is more my speed and something I truly enjoy. I have gained mainly due to my own laziness and I'm trying to kill all my bad habits pretty much cold turkey. Hopefully by the end of the week, my room will be clean and organized and I can start back up again. But I'm gonna definitely get into the habit of walking daily again. Finding a job is still a difficult task. I really hope I find something soon, mostly because I am planning to get my examination license for driving. I wanna be able to save for a car as well as school supplies. I'm going to need a desktop and a more up to date laptop with more room than what I currently have.
